More than 125 artists, celebrities and big cheeses have donated their talents to creatively interpret Microsoft® mice for the Tails of the City art exhibition and charity auction benefiting Destination Foundation.

These are awesome! “It Wasn’t Me,” “Mouse-u-puncture,” “Mouse Beetle,” “If At First You Don’t Succeed,” and “Sanctuary are some of my favorites.

Oh wow. I just got laid off.

Anyone know of any openings for a web developer?

How wonderfully charming! (It doesn’t hurt that I want to get a Jetta.)

Yesterday, I saw a guy who works in my building wearing this Megatokyo shirt. It made me grin.

Ah, Blogger, I’ve missed you! Glad you got everything fixed, Ev.

They swiped the WRONG design! (I’ve been making an effort not to post links that I know are already on site like MetaFilter, but this is an exception ’cause it’s about MeFi.)

Happy Birthday, Aaron!!

Rita Ferrandino’s article about working for AOL’s Community Action Team conjures up memories of my own experiences there.

Ugh. At every meal, there’s a good chance that I’ll end up wearing some of what I’m eating. Especially since my boobs get in the way so I drop stuff on them and not just onto the table. Take today for example. I had a burger and onion rings. Once I was done eating, I realized I had some spots of mustard on my WHITE T-SHIRT over my left boob. As I tried to wipe them off with a napkin, Dale pointed out that I also had ketchup on my right boob. Yes, folks, I managed to nail each breast with a different condiment. Of course, the guys loved it ’cause it gave them the opportunity to stare openly at my chest while laughing at me.

In reference to my previous post….

I shared this quote from a MeFi thread…

“It’s reasonably safe (though probably offensive and blasphemous) to think of Christianity as Judaism 2.0, and Muslim as a forked release of Christianity.” -cCranium

… with Aaron, who followed up with…

Aaron: understandable statement

Aaron: its more linux than that

Aaron: there are the orthodox ones like catholicism then protestant rewrites

Aaron: and lutheran bastard childs

Aaron: never mind the out there releases like morman and jehovas witness

Aaron: all split at or below abraham

Aaron: pretty sure that god promised abraham that he would be the father of 3 great nations in the old testament, and he is the father of muslim, jewish and christian religions

I love my insurance company. How many of you can say the same thing?

Great. Someone in the office has his cell phone set to play “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” instead of ringing. Now the bleepy version of an already-annoying song is stuck in my head.

I just a cold-call from a recruiter, and it’s left me miffed.

When I answered the phone, the woman identified herself as a tech recruiter calling about a referral. So I figured someone I know gave my name as a reference. No problem.

Well, she proceeds to say that she’s looking to place Java developers with some company, and could I refer anyone to her?

“Um, no. I don’t know any Java developers.”

“Oh. What is it you do?”

“I’m a web developer. HTML.”

“Oh. Well. We sometimes get openings for positions like that. Would you mind if I sent you my contact info, and you can send me your resume.”

“No, thanks. I’m not looking right now.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to take down my information just in case?”

“Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.”

Now, what sort of a headhunter calls you up and asks you to refer OTHER people?! Sheesh.

The Loop Monkey rules!!
